Sorenson Squeeze 6
We are using Sorenson Squeeze to convert eight AVCHD videos into HD Flash videos for use on websites. This application heavily favors physical core count and processor clock speed.
WinRAR 3.9 x64
This benchmark compresses our AT workload consisting of a main folder that contains 954MB of files in 15 subfolders. The result is a file approximately 829MB in size.
Bibble 5.0
We utilize Bibble Labs' Bibble 5 v2 to convert 50 RAW image files into full size JPEG images with the program's default settings. This program is fully multithreaded and multi-core aware.
File Transfer to USB
In this test we use Sharkoon's USB QuickPort with a 1TB Western Digital hard drive and transfer a 1GB file from a 1TB HDD connected to the Intel PCH.

I'll try and find out ASAP and report back if need be. I did hear this had happened on some H55 boards in the past (RAID cards in primary PEG slot triggering an IGP shut-off) - but am not sure if it was fixed via a BIOS update or not.later

I don't understand why HTPC performance wasn't included in the review. Is the onboard graphics good enough for 1080P and BD decoding?Rajinder Gill - Sunday, May 9, 2010 - link
Hi,The Clarkdale IGP handles HD video playback fine. We do run HD video as part of the power consumption tests (although not as a benchmark).

Do you have any numbers for ECS H55H-I performance with Lynnfield processors?pvdw - Monday, May 10, 2010 - link
PS/2 ports aren't needed since there are cheap adapters available that will support a ps/2 keyboard and mouse from one USB slot.rodders27_uk - Thursday, June 10, 2010 - link
You would be surprised how much still runs on ISA cards within industries, if you pay £15-20k per card for example, with 4-5 cards or more in a server, they can often outlast the underlying server hardware by 2-3 times. Companies just don't want to re-spend money like that when the card still works fine.Dopeyd - Monday, July 5, 2010 - link
Not sure if this was covered but I've noticed that sticking a raid cards in the PCIe for the mini-itx on H55 chipset have caused some systems to halt (gigabyte), have you been able to test this out on the ECS?
